Nearly all topics in the book are only sketched. There are no examples, and although there are problem sets concluding each chapter, no answers or solutions are provided. Consequently, the author’s thought that the book can be used for self-study is unrealistic. However, a college professor augmenting the text can use it successfully in an optics course.
